Resuming work.

PnTsBURGH, July 6.-This was the
day set by the coke operators for the
resumption of work by those of their
employees who had expressed them
selves as willing to go back at the old
wages. The works generally through
out the region were open to all who de-
sired to return. At number of them
some of the strikers reported and were
put to work. At no place was the
number large, though, as the operators
say, there were enough to show that
the resumption of work had actually
commenced on the morning designated.
Everything is quiet, and so far Piuker-
tons men have had nothing to do.

MORMON MATTERS.
The Anti-Poiygamy section Pro.
nOunced 80 be n Yraud.
tBy telegraph to the Di.pa,ch.I

SALT LAKE CRY, UTAH, July 6.-The
Tribune this morning, in an editorial
article, pronounces the section OF the
proposed State Constitution abolishing
polygamy fraud The section, it
says, fails TO condemn unlawful cohabi-
tation. "All that Mormon would need
to do in order TO live up to his religion
would be to quietly marry polyga-
mously and keep the knowledge OF
the fact from obstrusivoly offending
the Mormon prosecuting attorney for
three years, and thereafter he could
live in the most shameless and indecent
polygamy, with neither law nor Con-
stitution to say him nay. He would
also be backed by the Church and
dominant sentiment, and the Constitu-
ton would be laughed to scorn, as the
Church programme contemplates.
The Tribune contrasts this move
with the declaration OF grievances and
protests made by the Mormons two
years ago in unfolding polygamy as the
true Church doctrine, and complaining
Of the legislation against it as infringing
on the rights of conscience. Delegate
Cain presided at the meeting at which
this was adopted and signed it as chair
man. He also presided at the consti-
tutiOnsl convention. The same per-
sons ans the same powers ordain both
then and now-then in earnest, now
pNrading for effect and with an attempt
TO deceive the public. If admitted as
State tho priesthood will have it oil
their own way.
The day in the Mormon Cpnstitu-
tional Convention was taken up in the
discussion of the clauses prohibiting
pOlygamy and providing for the sepa-
ration of the Church and State. The
discussion was animated and some
vigorous speeches were made against
both clauses. The clauses, however,
were passed in committee Of the whole,
and it is thought they will undoubtedly
be adopted by the convention by
heavy majority. Whether or not
the people viii ratify the Constitu-
ton 10y popular vote next Au-
gust remains to be seen. 1t is
believed there will be a satisfactory
majority in favor OF the Constitution.
though many old and thoroughgoing
Monogamon Mormons are pronounced
in theiropposition to the anti-polygamy
article. The convention is working
hard, holding three sessions daily in
order TO complete the work and get the
Constitution well before the people in
time for an intelligent vote on the
same at the August election.
